Third Oakland police chief out amid sex and race scandals

Amid sex and race scandals, Oakland’s third chief of police was fired or resigned in just eight days as an investigation into officer misdeeds leads to more revelations.

Last year, Oakland police officer Brendan O’Brien committed suicide and left a note naming law enforcement personnel involved with the now 18-year-old daughter of one of the department’s dispatchers. O’Brien and two other officers allegedly had sex with the woman, who goes by Celeste Guap, before she turned 18.

At least 14 Oakland police officers allegedly had sex with Guap, who was working as a prostitute.

On June 9, former Chief Sean Whent resigned before the revelations were made public. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf replaced Whent with Benson Fairow, whom she fired five days later after new information surfaced about Fairow.

So Schaaf made former Captain Paul Figueroa the new chief. Then after just two days on the job, the mayor said Figueroa resigned. It is suspected that information about a decades old affair surfaced after Figueroa was made chief.

In addition to the sex scandal, investigators have uncovered racist emails that include discussions of the KKK and referring to black people by contemptuous terms.

Since 2003, the police department has been operating under federal oversight because of past misdeeds that included planting evidence and robbing residents.

“As a mayor of Oakland, I am here to run a police department, not a frat house,” Schaaf said during a press conference.

Instead of replacing the chief with a law enforcement officer, Schaaf announced City Administrator Sabrina Landreth will temporarily head the police department.

This is nothing new in Oakland and likely across the entire country. It will never change and the big decision will be how much tax money will be spent to forget.

It sounds like maybe the mother was more than a dispatcher for the police department. Looks like she may have been a dispatcher (pimp) for her daughter. There’s more to this story.

Another example of why Oakland is circling the drain. Wasn’t Jerry once their Mayor as a stepping stone to get back to Sacramento?

I believe this goes deeper than them having sex with a 14 year old.

Apparently FOURTEEN cops had sex with this girl?!! WTH?!


Was it really worth it, guys?! The shame you’ve caused your wives and children? The dishonor you’ve brought upon your profession which is already tarnished? All because you couldn’t keep your zippers zipped?


Seriously disgusting behavior by men who know better. I don’t blame the prostitute at all. She was a kid when this )#$@ started and she was taken advantage of. Hopefully she gets her life in order and finds another line of work.

Boys will be boys…that’s why it’s important to have moral guidelines. It’s a free for all now, thanks to the perverts in the media and the liberals that support them. Oh my, I just realized I might have to clarify what I mean because there are some that no longer believe that Boys will be boys. They believe that your emotions override your physiology.


How low can we go.

“How low can we go.”


Well, frankly, I believe that we’re about to find out. Better hang on to something tight- it’s gonna be a rocky ride.

I don’t know… Is this a rarity? Can anyone in good conscious still tell their children if they find themselves in trouble with nowhere else to turn to call out for a police officer? My feeling is that for every one of these type of incidents that become public knowledge there are FAR more that do not. That “Thin Blue Line” is one not crossed often enough in my opinion…

I teach my children to distrust the police and I’m not alone on this. In a true emergency, I’d call my neighbors. If they weren’t available, I’d seek help from a stranger before I’d call the police. Cops do nothing but bring more trouble to a bad situation. Cash sucking useless leeches, all of them.

What is going on with our society? Seems the patients are running the asylum.

” Seems the patients are running the asylum.”


Well, the old saying actually refers to the “inmates” running the asylum, but, yeah- patients or inmates- whatever- they are running the asylum and have been for quite some time now.
